Project description:au13-12_polysome - transcriptome and translatome of arabidopsis wt seeds according to dormancy - Identification of transcripts that are differentially abundant (transcriptome) and transcripts that are addressed to translation (translatome) in imbibed Arabidopsis seeds in relation with dormancy. During imbibition of seeds (16h and 24h in darkness at 25°C, dormant and non-dormant seeds), transcriptome analysis is done on total RNA and translatome analysis on polysomal RNA. - At harvest seeds are dormant. They stay dormant if they are stored at -20°C (D) and become non-dormant (ND) if they are stored 3 weeks at +20°C. Arabidopsis dormant seeds do not germinate at 25°C in darkness while non-dormant seeds do. Total RNA and polysomal RNA (polysomal fractions purified on sucrose gradients) were extracted from imbibed seeds for 16h or 24h at 25°C in darkness (3 biological replicates). Transcriptome and translatome are compared for Dormant vs Non-Dormant for 16h and 24 imbibition. In silico comparison will allow to compare transcriptome and translatome for each point and type of seeds and to compare the time points (16 vs 24h) for each type of sample.

Project description:Red rice fully dormant seeds do not germinate even under favourable germination conditions. In several species, including rice, seed dormancy can be removed by dry-afterripening (warm storage); thus, dormant and nondormant seeds can be compared for the same genotype. A weedy (red) rice genotype with strong dormancy was used for mRNA expression profiling, by RNA-Seq, of dormant and nondormant dehulled caryopses (here addressed as seeds) at two temperatures (30 °C and 10 °C) and two durations of incubation in water (8 hours and 8 days). Aim of the study was to highlight the differences in the transcriptome of dormant and nondormant imbibed seeds.
Project description:We report the application of RNA-seq technology for highthroughput profiling of photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic seeds of Arabidopsis chlorophyll synthase mutant seeds. By generating over 21 GB of sequence data from these seeds, we showed that genes involved in oil accumulation in non-photosynthetic seeds were significantly induced compared to photosynthtic seeds. Additionally we found that genes involved in the plastidal oxidative pentos phosphate pathway were significantly upregulated in the non-photosynthetic seed opposite to photosynthetic seeds. Overall our RNA-seq analysis revealled the genes and pathway interaction underpinining oil accumulation in non-photosynthetic seeds.
Project description:au14-10_wd40 - effet of light on translatome of arabidopsis seeds during germination - Does light regulates germination via polysome association ? - At harvest seeds are dormant.They stay dormant if stored at -20°C.A.Th dormant seeds dont germinate at 25°C in darkness.Total RNA and polysomal RNA (polysomal fractions purified on sucrose gradients)were extracted from imbibed seeds for 20h at 22°C in darkness and light(3 biological replicates). Transcriptome and translatome are compared for light vs dark for 20h of imbibition. In silico comparison will allow to compare transcriptome and translatome for each type of sample.
Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulators of plant development. In soybean (Glycine max), an important edible oil crop, valuable lipids are synthesized and stored in the cotyledons during embryogenesis .This storage lipids are used as energy source of the emerging seeds, during the germination procces. Until now, there are no microRNAs related to lipid metabolism in soybean or any other plant. This work aims to describe the miRNAome of germinating seeds of B. napus by identifying plant-conserved and novel miRNAs and comparing miRNA abundance in mature versus germinating seeds. A total of 183 familes were detected through a computational analysis of a large number of reads obtained from deep sequencing from two small RNA libraries of (i) pooled germintaing seeds stages and (ii) mature soybean seeds. We have found 39 new mirna precursors which produce 41 new mature forms. The present work also have identified isomiRNAs and mirnas offset (moRNAs). This work presents a comprehensive study of the miRNA transcriptome of soybean germinating seeds and will provide a basis for future research on more targeted studies of individual miRNAs and their functions in lipid consumption in development soybean seeds.
